ScottCM Posted September 21, 2018 Share So for the experienced guys here, when is it to close to race day to do a 70.3? The reason i ask is that i see SA champs (not that i will be there) is two weeks prior on the 24th of March and DBNUltra is a month prior on the 3rd of March. With my moonboot and then restarting slowly for the run I'm considering cancelling my JHBUltra entry and asking them to swap it for a DBN one instead, but will that be to close with the amount of tapering and recovery time required so close to PE? PE is my MAIN event for the next 8month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted September 21, 2018 Share I reckon a month in advance is no problem, will be good practice too. Keep it i reckon. _David_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PE is my MAIN event for the next 8month. I remember reading once before that 1 month out is the perfect timing. I'm not sure if you're supposed to 'race' race it, more of a final walk-through or fine-tune for your transitions and nutrition. ScottCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if you're supposed to 'race' race it, more of a final walk-through or fine-tune for your transitions and nutrition. Durban Ultra will be a great primer for IM, as most of the hard (long) yards would have been covered already. Would just go and race it and work on things for IM and no red mist stuff. Recovery week after that and then 1 week of more Intensity training and fine tuning and then a 10 day taper. ScottCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted October 22, 2018 Share Pulled the plug on next year Going to aim for a long trail run instead of IM, probably around the same time of year. We'll be sure to be in a TV deadzone on raceday otherwise the FOMO will kick ass. Carmichael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craai Posted October 23, 2018 Share Historically, what time of year do I need to start to worry about entries being sold out? Would like to enter ASAP, just a rough time of year ito cash flow lolNah, you dont have to worry, entries are normally available up to very close to the closing date (Talking about Ironman PE, the 70.3 events have sold out quite quickly in some previous years) You do however get discount for entering early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
